1 Keluarga Pendatang

So here is the first sketch for the Koboi Kembara Lagi series. Koboi dengan keluarganya mengamalkan budaya highschool Canada. Tentative title – ‘Keluarga Pendatang’. This is a Koboi performance at his daughter’s graduation shoot. This is an annual extravaganza in Vancouver high schools. I convinced my daughter Durga to let the Koboi join her family session – graduation as readymade! I wonder if they have this hyper-memorial culture back home…It is really a performance art… dresses, sorting out groups and cliques, coordinating looks and clothes… Yup! quite a performance… all this graduation activity triggers a sense of dislocation for me… I left for UK after form 5.

About this Blog

Can information follow in the wake of global capital flows to create truly transnational communities of contestation and accord?

Malaysian oil and gas giant, the PETRONAS Group of Companies is a dominant investor in the British Columbian LNG sector. While Malaysia is undergoing a social and financial crisis, this Malaysian crown corporation’s investments have given rise to tribal, territorial, economic and environmental contestations across the Pacific Ocean.

Do Canadians have a perspective on Malaysia? Are Malaysians aware of economic, environmental or territorial perspectives in Canada? Can information follow in the wake of global capital to create truly transnational communities of contestation and accord? This is the persistent theme of this otherwise meandering Koboi Kembara LagiBlog (The Koboi Rides Again Blog).
